The Fitness Atlantic 2008 ran the gamut of competitors. It combines Fitness Model, Figure, Fitness, Bikini and Bodybuilding. Basically there was something for everyone.
If you have never been to a competition, you don’t know what you are missing.
While everyone is competing against one another, there is a level of camaraderie. It’s not unusual to see competitors giving each other encouragement or some form of assistance.
As you can see from the photos everyone is smiling and having a great time.
I think the most overlooked aspect of a competition is all the behind the scenes stuff that goes on to make everything look seamless. When you see first hand the complexity of a fitness show you gain an appreciation for the staff and promoters. The promoter for this show is Brian Cannone.
Evidently a lot of promoters do multiple shows each year. Brian has chosen to do just the Fitness Atlantic. By focusing on just one show each year it allows a promoter to really focus on the event and it shows in the details. Unless you are attending a national event, when was the last time you saw stage lighting and backdrops like these?
The Fitness Atlantic adds a unique twist to the evening show that gives all the competitors a chance to shine!
April 26 '08 marked the 10th Anniversary for Fitness Atlantic and with well over 200 athletes competing the show ran from 9:00am until 10:30pm non-stop. The finals were sold-out before the morning of the show turning away hundreds of people at the door at the night show.
We would like to thank the athletes for their patience since the event ran without any breaks to make for a long day. We would also like to thank our event staff and judges for working so hard to make this event happen with so many competitors.
